The methodology data were collected from Fitch Ratings. Also, the article review international literacy for factors and indicators adequacy in rating assessments. The purpose of this research is to overview literacy for the primary methodologies of banks' credit rating assessment. It was explained that ratios from financial indicators are most important for credit rating assessment. In some cases, in sovereign countries, support and macroeconomic factors are significant.

Целью исследования является обзор методологий оценки кредитного рейтинга банков. Изучаемые методологии оценки были получены из Fitch Ratings. Рассматривается международная буквенная категория с точки зрения факторов и показателей адекватности в рейтинговых оценках. В результате исследования было выявлено, что соотношения финансовых показателей являются наиболее важными для оценки кредитного рейтинга. Авторы пришли к выводу, что подходы к рэнкингу еще недостаточно изучены и в будущем число исследований с различными методологическими предложениями и улучшениями будет увеличиваться.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>credit rating</kwd><kwd>banks</kwd><kwd>credit rating agencies</kwd><kwd>methodology</kwd><kwd>assessment</kwd><kwd>Fitch</kwd><kwd>Fitch</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>кредитный рейтинг</kwd><kwd>банки</kwd><kwd>рейтинговые агентства</kwd><kwd>методология</kwd><kwd>оценка</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Acharya, V., Drechsler, I., &amp; Schnabl, P.
